The annual Brierwood Golf Club Senior/Super Senior Golf Tournament was played April 2 and April 4. The tournament was divided into two flights on the basis of the age of the participants. All players must be at least 55.

In a high school conference golf tournament April 4 at Rivers Edge, West’s Greg Hensley shot a 5-over par 77 and won by one stroke.

Last March, in an antiquated shot put field in the shadow of the West Brunswick High School football stadium bleachers, junior Kayla Padgett picked up the nearly 9-pound shot, looked into the distance and threw it for the first time in a track meet. She threw it the only way she knew how—like a softball, the sport she had played as a youngster and in her first two years at West.

The West Brunswick High School baseball team beat North Brunswick 11-1 in five innings April 12.

West took advantage of North errors in scoring six runs in the second inning.
